This is a year of unusual and interest in the tics of the country. Not only will the people elect an entirely new House of Representative which portends a possible change in the complexion of the legislative branch of the government, but in almost all the States officers are to be chosen from governor down. The legislatures chosen at these general elections in thirty States have the election of United States Senators. The Senators whose terms ex- March are John T. Morgan of Alabama, James H.

At first it was thought that the man was a tic but it soon became evident that his statement as to his having failed him was genuine.

And so it may be that while the unknown striker at Chicago may have made him- self indictable for interfering with the mails, so while Mr. Debs, the head of the Railway Union, has gotten in the toils, so also it may that the railway magnates may themselves find that they too have violated the law and are liable to punishment.

C-, July President Cleveland and his cabinet are almost swamped with telegrams from every section of the country congratulating them on the courage and promptness with which they have brought order out of chaos and prevented what at one time looked like it might be a revolution, and aid to any imaginable extent, in both men and money- The President and his advisers believe that the worst is over, but they none the less feel proud of the confidence reposed in them by Congress and the pi and will continue their efforts to de- serve that confidence. It is Speaker if you please, Tenn., having been elected Speaker pro. tern- of the House during the absence of Speaker Crisp, who has been called to Georgia by the serious of his brother. The Democrats of the tariff conference have held daily meetings this week, and the air is full of rumors each contra- of the other as to what they have done. These rumors are nothing more than guesses as members of the conference will have nothing to say until they report to their respective Houses. Had the situation not been entirely too grave and important to be laughed at the silly talk of Messrs. Hayes, and French, members of the Executive committee of the Knights of La- who are in Washington this week, about beginning impeach- proceedings against General because of the arrest of would have been regarded as a good As it is it merely gave the intelligent public an opportunity to the caliber of the men who con- a once powerful and organization and to wonder how they managed to get their authority and how long the or- can stand the use they are making of it. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, in addition to being a State's rights Democrat of the staunchest sort is known among lawyers as an authority upon Constitutional law- His resolution as a substitute to the semi-anarchist resolution offered by Senator Puffer, of and supported by the populist Senator in one of the most outrageous speeches ever made in the Senate in which the abolition of Congress and the transfer of to a com- composed of one member from each State was endorsing President Cleveland and his administration for the prompt and vigorous measures taken to repulse and repress by military force the interference of lawless men with the due process of the laws of the U- S-, and with commerce among the States and declaring that action of tho President and his administration has the full sympathy and support of tho law abiding masses of the U.

The President is acting entirely within the lines of the constitution and his action is to be commend ed by all law abiding citizens, regardless of their political or partisan This is the way the situation looks to Senator Davis, of Minn-, tho Republican whose raking down of will not soon be forgotten have looked into this matter as a lawyer, and my is that the President has gone about this business as a lawyer. He has considered his ground, become acquainted with his authority and powers, and then gone in to exercise them in a righteous cause and for the good of the general public- He has not exceeded his authority one whit; on the contrary, he has nor as yet exhausted it- If the troops are not sufficient for this emergency the state militia is at his command- The President can swear the militia of the various states into the service of the U- S-, and then send them to Chicago or any other point where their may become necessary. The constitution is broad enough in this case, and the President is upon President Cleveland has doubt- less gained somewhat in public esteem by his course during the recent turmoil. It was an when the qualities for which he is particularly noted were re- for successfully meeting the issue. He is a strong, deter- mined, self-sufficient man; and he is as safe, prudent and consider- ate as he is bold and resolute. His sentiments we have thought have been generally, just and his purposes and he has always had the nerve to act promptly and decisively. Those characteristics fit him to deal with emergencies, his value as a man in office at such times is exemplified by his action- The people a confidence that he will do the right thing and do it wisely It is the more agreeable to us to thus place on record our estimate of Mr. Cleve- land in these concerns, as we have at times, but always with due respect, differed with him point- and emphatically in regard to some other questions; and we prefer to commend him rather than say aught in his dispraise. He is a great in every sense; one of the greatest men this country has ever pro- and we regret that on any- subject there should be a diver- of sentiment between him and our people. News- Observer.

LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS. Tobacco crops from nearly all sections of the are report- ed looking well. have noticed a good many crops of tobacco that are topped from two to sis leaves too high. Farmers should very careful about this. Neglecting to top tobacco at the proper time, topping it too high and allowing succors to grow and remain on the plant will ruin the crop quicker and more effectually than anything else you can do. It robs the loaves of their substance and weight and makes only a light stuff that doesn't sell for much. Nearly every crop of tobacco this year is more or less spotted, that is a large plant and a small, the result of repeated resetting, and how to make good tobacco out of the small plants is hard to do- The early tobacco is too large to plow and the young to- needs it. The only thing that can be done is to work rapid- the small plants with a hoe. Stronger efforts will be made this year than ever before by dis- markets to induce Pitt farmers to sell their tobacco away from home- To the farmers we simply say if any other mar- can make it to your interest to sell your tobacco there by all means it a duty you owe your- self and family to sell where you can get most for it, meanwhile we would say that our conveniences this year tor handling tobacco are better than ever before and our efforts to make it to your interest to sell in Greenville, will be more than double what they have been in any previous year- Just watch your interest and don't be too quickly taken in by these glib tongued talkers, whose only inter- est in the market they represent is the dollars and cents they get out of the job. To the man who is working honestly and sincerely for his market these remarks do not apply but for the one who would misrepresent and mislead regardless of facts and because there is no one to reply they are intended. In the June number of the North American Review, Mr- John F- Hume has an article en- titled Family in which he does up the South for its repudiated that is ad- to be unconstitutional and fraudulent. He seems to have fretted himself into a fever over the fact that the Southern in their recent in the city of Richmond, Va-, for the purpose of calling the at- of capitalist to the equaled advantages and induce- afforded in the opening up and development of Southern re- sources, did not take into their discussion what he terms Family and gives as a reason why they did not that the subject was a tender one. He goes back to the darkest period in tho Souths history and drags from the smoking ruins of the indebtedness which he says has shrunk into a ton and flaunts it into the eyes of the world as a scare-crow to frighten capital from the field of Southern investment- The editor of the re quested Mr- Clark Ho well editor of the Atlanta Constitution, the ablest writer and tho strongest exponent of Southern rights in the South to reply to the article of Mr- Hume, which he does in the July number. When we had read the article of Mr- Hume, we wondered at the ghastly spectacle that he had drawn and presented to the reading public of the South's repudiated bonds and could only hope that Mr- Howell when heard from would throw a different light upon the subject- Mr- Howell's article is replete with facts and figures but an ex- argument could not be given in the limited amount of space allowed him- Suffice it to say however, that he met every charge and has vindicated the South from the false impression that the former article necessarily made- WIDE AWAKE, PROGRESSIVE.

The planters of the East who would show their of Mr- Joyner's efforts in their behalf will do well to re- member that he is one of best to be and sell their tobacco with him. He is capable, clever and courteous, and will always make the weed its full value- Mr. Joyner is better prepared this year than ever to handle the new crop, and will no doubt have a very large patronage. The crop around Greenville promises to be fine and many large orders and new dealers will make things lively there this fall. Since the opening of the Green- ville market Mr. O. L.

A certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight a duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion on part his friends, who felt confident of his success. His antagonist, a little man, walked on crutches. When the place for the shoot- had been reached the lame man's second asked that he be allowed to lean against a mile stone which happened to stand there. The privilege was allowed, and the lame man took his stand. The Irishman and his seconds drew off to the distance agreed upon, one hundred feet. Here Pat's courage suddenly failed him and he shouted to the lame man. a small favor to ask of ye, is asked the cripple Pat ye ye might lean the mile post, and now I would like the privilege of the The laugh that followed spoiled every body's desire for a fight, and the whole party went home without a shot haying been fired- In building the big observatory tower at park, near Lon- don, the contractor is making use of four electric cranes. The general form of this tower is much like that of the Eiffel tower In Paris, and one of the cranes is used at the top of each of the inclined legs, which have now reached the height of about one hundred and fifty feel. Each crane has a long boom or arm, from which ropes reach down the ground and pick up the girders, sometimes weighing over thirty tons. When the girder, column or other piece of the iron work is lifted to the top of the leg the crane is swung around and the boom raised or lowered in the proper position. After all the pieces for a new story or have been riveted together, a few girders are placed in position, and the crane pulls itself up to this floor, and is ready for service again. The great advantage of electricity in such an appliance is the saving of weight possible by using electric motors In place of steam engines and boilers, an important matter when the are working more than one hundred feet above the ground. The motor used on each crane is of fourteen-horse power, and takes a current of amperes at volts. The Profits of Chicken-Raising by In- The profits of raising chickens by means of incubators and brooders is apparently quite large. The smallest sized incubator costs twenty-five dollars, with oil lamp and all other necessaries complete, and is good for one gross of eggs. They are, of course, well selected, and may cost twenty cents a dozen just now. The eggs are deposited on plates which can be made to revolve by a touch, but owing to the eggs being equally exposed on all sides and the being always maintained at the same level, the trouble of turn- the eggs which afflicts the do- hen is spared to the owner of the machine. It takes from nine- teen to twenty-one days to turn out the perfected brood of chicks, and no gain has yet been made on the forts of the well-disposed hen in the matter of time records. At two months the chickens are worth a quarter apiece for culinary poses, or, if duck eggs have been experimented with, the pecuniary returns are larger. Ducks take a few days more to hatch. The young birds are placed at birth under the brooder c nursing mother, a cast- iron construction much resembling the incubator and warmed in the same manner by oil or gas. Under the shade of this substitute for the spreading wings of the maternal hen the chicks thrive and grow. The cost of food is Inconsiderable and the profits must be large. The in- and brooders are built of shoot iron or tin, are about three feet high and eight in circumference, and take up as much room as an ordinary flour barrel. Cellar culture chickens ought to Mail.

Two young American have lately succeeded in a long with English conservatism, as evinced in the gas Industry. Some years ago these men. A. C. Humphreys and A. G. Glasgow, conceived the idea that the water gas process, by which coal gas is enriched by a gas made from and superheated steam, would prove economical in many English cities. So they resigned from tho Important positions they held in this country and wont to London, where for a number of years they have been endeavoring to obtain a foot- hold. The prejudice against the process which advocate has been overcome now to a considerable extent, and a number of works in- stalled. It was some time before tho value of the process was edged, and even after that was granted it was held that the price of oil, six cents a gallon, was an in- obstacle. But works were built at which twenty-four- power gas was delivered into the holders at thirty-four cents per one thousand feet, while the average cut n amount of coal gas at London was over thirty-five and In the suburbs over forty- one cent. These figures and tho advantages of the water-gas process as regards ease of operation and economy of have proved con- ill last. Mr. success in the matter is only what his American acquaintances expect- ed, for his career has been an inter- one. The manner in which his technical education was acquired is characteristic of the man. While superintendent of tho gas works at Bayonne, X. J., he entered institute, and by working nights and attending the classes on but two afternoons in the week, graduated at the head of his class with tho highest honors, receiving nattering public commendation from President Morton and his professors. carpet.
